Delighted to be asked to join a panel at the Chelthenham Literary Festival, on 11th October, to talk The Archers, with a very esteemed guest alongside!

Tickets will be on sale in due course, but in the meantime, this to whet your appetite:

'Charting the ups and downs in the lives of residents of rural Ambridge, The Archers has captured record numbers of listeners for over 60 years. So what is the secret behind its enduring success? Cara Courage, co-founder of The Academic Archers conference, and Tim Bentinck, best known for his role as David Archer in the drama, speak to Paddy O’Connell about the world’s longest-running radio soap and its influence upon our contemporary culture.'
